Dear Sir, Sri Gurubyo Namah! You said it is not very difficult to succeed in sadhana! Please tell me how you manage being a rishi and an engineer. I have heard about him some twenty years ago when I came across his book "Mantra Rahasya" from my sanskrit teacher. At that time it was published by vikas publications(hindi pustak bhandar) and now the publisher's name is Hindi Pustak Mahal. At that time, I was too young but was fond of the "A tha Ka Ha" Chakra and his book had it. Sri Mathra Namah! Regards S. Sreemahalakshmi

Hi, can you please tell me how it begins, because I have one that has 200verses! Regards

Dear Sir, Please read the links: Avidya Avidya and Ahankara(Ignorance and Egoism) Maya and Avidya Here Swami Sivananda explains avidya and its relation to ahankara and maya. Moreover, Sri Ramanuja talks about "vishishtadvaitham" which means "a special case of Advaitham" which is also about a special case of non-duality! Bhagavad Gita 4.22 yadṛcchā—out of its own accord; lābha—gain; santuṣṭaḥ—satisfied; dvandva—duality; atītaḥ—surpassed;vimatsaraḥ—free from envy; samaḥ—steady; siddhau—in success; asiddhau—failure; ca—also; kṛtvā—doing; api—although; na—never; nibadhyate—is affected. He who is satisfied with gain which comes of its own accord, who is free from duality and does not envy, who is steady both in success and failure, is never entangled, although performing actions. With warm Regards S. Sreemahalakshm
